RAMALLAH - DECEMBER 09: People walk through a market in central Ramallah on December 09, 2023 in Ramallah. According to new estimates by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), if the war in Gaza continues for a second month the poverty rate in the State of Palestine will rise by 34 percent, placing nearly half a million additional people into poverty. Israel's war against Hamas that was sparked by the Oct. 7 attacks has also made life more volatile in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Israeli forces here have stepped up raids on alleged militants, police have clashed with protesters, and there has been a rise in violent attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers. Last month, Hamas also claimed responsibility for a deadly shooting in Jerusalem by two brothers from the eastern part of the city. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
